It is truly distressing to behold certain citizens of our great country aping the behaviour of the disgusting hordes of ignoramuses who seem determined to turn our southern neighbour into a theocratic fascist oligarchy, and who are in fact well along the road to so doing. I refer to the tiny percentage of our nation’s truckers (and others) who currently infest our nation’s capital.

These people are not patriots, freedom fighters or heroes but rather reality-challenged neo-brownshirt goons with IQs lower than their shoe sizes and seized of a degree of gullibility greater than that of those who believe wrestling is real.

If the police don’t have the resources to remove these quarter-wits, we have an army which must be brought in. I find it ironic that there appears to be no hesitation in arresting those opposing the destruction of our old-growth forests while these ignorant bullies are permitted to bring the capital city of our country to a halt with impunity.
